I'm happily returning to George Mason, where I received my B.A. in communication. I spent the past two years working on my master's degree in communication studies from Texas State University - San Marcos. I competed for the GMU forensics team from 2002 to 2004. During the time off between getting my undergraduate degree and my masters I coached for the team. I have returned to GMU to teach and to be part of this big family once again. So, this will be my second year of coaching for GMU forensics and I couldn't be any happier. We all know I love me some drama, drama, drama.
